I am impressed with the many customizable features in the options. After my Kenwood 400 disc dvd changer stopped working I was in search for an alternative. I purchased the OPPO dvd player because of the USB input would allow me to watch my movies from an external HDD (fat 32), and because I could change the region to watch German dvds. overall a great player. Now all I have to do is spend the next two years putting all my movies onto my external hdd.
The OPPO DV-980H is an excellent, dependable and foolproof product. this is one of those understated and excellent products. I have used it for the past two years, and it has always been extremely reliable. It is often difficult to realize when a product is excellent, because it doesn't cause problems, and therefore doesn't force itself onto your consciousness. I highly recommend it. Well done, OPPO.
Only a very few more expensive players that can match this player. Ordered this player from Amazon and received it in 1 week. For anyone who doesn't want to get a Blu-Ray yet, the Oppo IS the best Upconverted Dvd-player that you can get for around $160. The picture is sharp, colors are accurately rendered and the sound is just amazing. I don't want to say anything else about this player because whatever i want to say is already been said millions of time on the net.Bottom line is if you want an Upconverted Dvd player then this is IT.
Probably needs an upgrade on the software. Sometimes starts a few minutes into the DVD, sometimes ignores the remotes commands until I can manage to send it to the title screen.
It does everything very well.It automatically resizes the video output of commercial DVDs to fit the HDTV 16:9 format. I have had this player for about six months now.
It does seem to have a mind of its own when it starts up with a fresh DVD. It also plays the many self-recorded DVDs (DVD-R) very well.
No freeze-ups, tracking is wonderful. Then everything is fine.
But overall, a top performer.
I purchased this player in January of 2008 and was very happy with its performance up until yesterday when the DVD tray stopped working (the tray would not open). This was a useful life of 1 year and roughly 4 months. Only a 1-year warranty. Great:(
